Yes because 6'11 Antic is a lot smaller than him....

Yeah and he walked away the second Antic started getting back at him.


Anyways....

Home court advantage hasn't existed so far today.

Now? He's been like that since he was in New Orleans he's a lot of talk. He also goes at people a lot smaller than him.

You are aware you can be tough without having to be ready to square up on someone every time, right?

So again, not sure where this "fake tough guy" stuff about West is coming from, especially when he and Chandler were two of the toughest dudes on that team. He may not be a bad*** like Brock Lesnar but he's far from being a phony.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

The whole 'fake tough guy' thing is silly man...these are all grown men with different back grounds in the NBA.

No one is trying to fight on the court....there's a reason there hadn't been a real fight in like 5 years...you swing on someone now you damn near get put in jail, lol

I understand no one in this league is actively trying to fight people. But there are a handful of people in the league who are constantly STARTING physical and verbal confrontations, but never do anything.

West and KG are the first that come to my mind of those guys. It sure looks like D. West could kick 99% of the population's *** but we will never know. If you're not trying to fight than stop stirring stuff up and just shut up and play.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Depends on your definition of "wrong." I think people say something is wrong with him, but I also think we need to come to grips with reality that his hot start to the season was just that, a hot start. He's still a damn good player all things considered, but he's not the "superstar" that he was being hyped as at the beginning of the year. Still think he's one of the leagues best two way players, but LeBron James or Durant he certainly is not.

Well everyone gets slightly over rated any time they and their team hits a hot streak, and the reverse happens anytime there is a slump.. But I completely agree, he's definitely one of the best in the league he's a superstar.. But it just seems like more than a shooting slump, or cooling down from a hot start.. He just doesn't seem himself, idk if the initial slump maybe jarred with his confidence or what?

Either way I still expect him, and the rest of these guys, to bounce out of this at some point. Hopefully be in the ECF or Finals looking like the team we saw the first couple months of the season.. Individually he's dropped a ways from people praising him as the 3rd best player in the league, an MVP candidate, and T-Mac comparisons.. From a fantasy perspective (which means little to nothing) he went from being my game in and game out best player to routinely being behind Ty Lawson, Isaiah Thomas, Deandre Jordan, Pau Gasol, Nicolas Batum..

or the league figured out what he was doing so well and stopped that but he shouldn't be this bad if that is the case.

How bad is he? He's having a rough shooting night, but still has 24 points.

He is fine, he's just not the player you guys expect or want him to be. He still has some developing to do.

Basically what I'm saying. Why is West always actively pursuing these altercations if he's not going to do anything. His act isn't fooling anyone.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

This Pacers team is hilarious and almost pathetic. Roy Hibbert needs to man up. No way a 7'2" big man with his skillset should be playing like this.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Lol ain't no "they" said. Go ahead and say "Pack said" because I did and I still think they'll win this series.

I just said a few days ago that I thought the playoffs would wake them up..

I did not expect this from game 1.
